Signage for Healthcare
In the healthcare sector, signage is about more than branding. Clear wayfinding in hospitals, medical centres, and clinics reduces stress and confusion for patients who are often in a vulnerable situation. Department signs, floor directories, and room numbering systems must be intuitive and readable for everyone, including people with impaired vision. Universal design with tactile letters, braille, and contrast colours is a requirement in public healthcare buildings. We design and produce wayfinding systems that meet TEK17 requirements and make it safe and easy for patients, visitors, and staff to navigate the building.
Challenges for healthcare
- Outdated wayfinding in healthcare buildings means patients spend unnecessary time finding the right department
- Lack of tactile marking and braille excludes visually impaired people from navigating the building independently
- Staff spend valuable time guiding visitors instead of concentrating on patient care
- Signs that do not meet universal design requirements can result in remarks during municipal inspections

Wayfinding system with universal design for medical centre
Challenge
A large medical centre in Sandnes with 8 departments across three floors had outdated signage. Patients could not find their way, and staff spent time guiding visitors instead of treating patients.
Solution
We designed and installed a complete wayfinding system with tactile letters, braille, contrast colours, and pictograms. Department signs, door signs, and floor directories were produced in accordance with TEK17 universal design requirements.
Result
The medical centre reported that patients found their way independently after the upgrade. Staff time was freed up, and the centre passed the municipal universal design inspection without remarks.

Other industries
We deliver signage to businesses across many industries:
Construction
The construction industry in Norway is one of the country's largest sectors, with thousands of businesses ranging from sole traders to large contractors. Visibility on building sites, on the road, and towards potential clients is essential for growth and credibility in a highly competitive market.
Real Estate
The real estate industry lives on first impressions. Whether it is office buildings, residential developments, or commercial properties, professional signage and decor are key to attracting tenants, buyers, and building a strong brand in the local market.
Hospitality
Restaurants, hotels, and hospitality venues compete for the attention of guests and tourists. Facade signs that draw people in, interior decor that creates ambiance, and event branding that makes experiences memorable are all critical factors for success in the hospitality industry.
Technology
Technology companies in Norway, from startups to established players, need to communicate innovation and expertise visually. Trade show stands at industry expos, office branding that attracts talent, and vehicle wraps on company cars are all important tools for building brand presence in the tech sector.
Transport & Logistics
The transport and logistics industry depends on a visible and consistent fleet identity. With vehicles on the road every day across the country, fleet wrapping is the most cost-effective form of advertising. Consistent branding across trucks, vans, and trailers creates professionalism and trust.
Public Sector
Public sector organisations such as municipalities, county authorities, and government agencies need clear and accessible visual communication. Wayfinding in public buildings, project signage at developments, and materials for public events require durable, professional solutions that reach all citizens.
Events & Festivals
The events and festivals industry is characterised by tight deadlines, large formats, and the need for visual impact. From stage backdrops and banners to exhibition stands and promotional items, organisers need solutions that create atmosphere, are quick to install, and can withstand weather in both indoor and outdoor settings.
